The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) has unveiled a special livery for its Boeing F-15SG in commemoration of its 50th anniversary at the Singapore air show. The city-state’s president Halimah Yacob was present to conduct the unveiling.

Located on the static display, the special livery F-15SG is painted in sky-blue, with streaks of white running across the body. The tail also has a ‘50’ painted on it.

"Singapore’s status as a vibrant air and trade hub today are founded upon the security provided by a strong defence force,” said Yacob. "It is not by chance that Singapore has developed rapidly over a few decades into our modern, bustling metropolis.”

"The systems and capabilities that the RSAF have inducted over the years provide us with a range of capabilities that can be useful in a wide range of scenarios to meet the demands of both conventional and unconventional threats in an evolving security landscape," says RSAF’s Chief of Air Force, Maj Gen Mervyn Tan. "As a small country with no strategic depth, Singapore will always need superior air capabilities to protect its interests and borders."
